Arrrg, so many “core” files?

I have tons of these “core” files filing up my blog space, and I can’t figure out what they are. They are all in my main blog file sitting with the wp files. They all start out core. with numbers attached like core.1024. When I go to view file type it says:
ELF 32-bit LSB core file Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), SVR4-style, from ‘php’
but I can’t read it. It’s just a bunch of jumbled letters, symbols, etc. Help please?

Are these in your theme, in your root folder, in your blog folder… where EXACTLY are these files? Where are you seeing their output, if any? It looks like something from a computer, but if we don’t know where exactly you’re seeing it (on your live site? in the download folder? in the folders you see when you FTP in? where?) we can’t really help you much.

I go to Cpanel. Log into my website. Then I click file manager, then the public html folder. In there is my blog folder, and inside the blog folder is where they reside. Along with all of the various wp folders like admin, content, etc.
